After nearly a month of collecting non-perishable food goods for the CMS Caring for Sharing Food Drive, the results of the class competition are in and it was the closest competition ever with only 14 cans sparating the winning class from the 2nd place class. Here are the results:

For winning first place, the 8th graders have decided to take on the MS staff in a basketball game. The game will take place on December 21st at 12:40 in the CMS gym. We encourage parents and community members to join us in the event, which promises to be a lot of fun.

5th grade students will have their class Christmas party during the game, so only 6th-8th graders will be in the gym.

Would you like
to see the firefighters and the police compete in a basketball game?? The
evil side of you probably said “YES”. But this time the good side of you
will definitely say “YES” too. Chadron Law Enforcement and the Chadron Volunteer Fire Department will face off at the “Guns ‘n’ Hoses” Charity Basketball
Game, a special event to benefit the
2012 Shop with a Cop Program.

In addition to the exciting basketball game, “Guns ‘n’ Hoses”
features a halftime performance by the Chadron High School Spirit Squad and a 50/50
raffle. Proceeds from the event go
directly towards the 2012 Shop with a Cop Program. The Shop with a Cop program uses all donations to purchase food and gifts, for
Christmas, for less fortunate children within our community. The children have the opportunity to go
shopping with a police officer. This is
a fun and exciting (sometimes interesting) experience for the children and the
officers as well.

Event:“Guns ‘n’ Hoses” Charity Basketball Game
for 2012 Shop with a Cop Program

Date/Time:Sunday, December 09, 2012, 4 pm

Location:Chadron Middle School Gym 551 E 6th
Street, Chadron, Ne

Cost:
$5 per person at the
door, kids age 10 and under get in free.

Chadron Police Department, 125 Main Street, Chadron, Nebraska.

The Chadron Police Department and
“The Shop with a Cop” program is in need of your help. Last year the Shop
with a Cop program was able to serve approximately 180 kids through cash
donations totaling $5,445.67, along with toys, food, and gift cards donations.
This works out to be about $30 per child. Because of your kindness, many
children within our community experienced a happy 2011 Holiday Season.

However; this 2012 year might not
be so happy. So far this year the Shop with a Cop program has only
received a few small donations and has seen a greater increase in children’s
needs. It is believed that our economy is a big factor in the increased
level of need and lowered number of donations. Remember all the donations
are used to benefit our local kids, during the Holiday Season. The
Chadron Police Department would like to ask for your support with the Shop with
a Cop program by “digging deep” and giving a donation.

If you have questions about the Shop with a Cop program
please contact School Resource Officer Aron Chrisman or the Chadron Police
Department at 432-0510. Donations can also be dropped off at the Chadron
Police Department, located at 125 Main Street, Chadron Ne.
